!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

This is rather pedantic and obfuscates the reality and consumer rights. Don't shill for big corp with that narrative, you could argue you don't "own" a book either if we're just doing silly talk in here.
You don't, though. Or rather, you don't own its contents. It's not being pedantic, it's simply correct.
This isn't a perspective shilling for big corp. If anything, understanding that society has already sleepwalked into a post-ownership era long ago, and that technology has only just now appeared to let the logical conclusion of that come home to roost, should only increase one's unease of mass unchecked corporate ownership.
Nah fuck that. If we're paying for shit we're going to use it when and how we want it. Right to repair is in this same vein
It seems I'm miscommunicating. I'm being interpreted as saying, "We're already here, and this is fine actually." My point is "We've been on the setup for ages, you shouldn't be surprised this is where we are going without intervention, and we need to intervene right now".
The world hasn't slowly built up to being this bad. They've been laying the traps for a long time. We're in the late game, not the early game. There is a lot to undo.
